SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 381,133, dated April 17, 1888 Application filed January 21, 1888. Serial No. 261,437 (No model.) 7 r I To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE HAUSS, of the city of Decatur, county of Macon, and Stateof Illinois, have invented certain new and useful ImprovementsinHair-Orimping Pins, of which the following isa specification.

My invention, has direct reference to ladies toilets, and is designed to provide means'for easily, speedily, and effectively crimping or curling portions of hair that it maybe desirable under prevailing customs to crimp or curl.

In the drawings accompanying and forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 represents 7 my device with its various parts'in position to receive the end of a lock of hair. Fig. 2 represents the' end of a lock of hair grasped by and wound partly around the three bars that form Fig. 3 represents,

the crimping-pin proper. the hairwound around the pin and secured by the clasp-bar, and Fig. 4 represents the device with the clasp-bar extended.

' out special attention.

The pin around which the hair is wound comprises the parallel bars a a, separated and se'curedby strutsrivet a, and the blade b hinged between the bars at d. The clasp-bar c is hinged to the pm at d, and has the hook c at its outer termination. The blade I) has the depression b adapted to the strut-rivet, and has also" the extension b, that projects beyond the end of the sheath formed by bars a a.

When the blade is closed on the end of a lock bar,'and is therefore adapted to pass readily overthe pin, as indicated in Fig.3. ,Some de- 46 gree of elasticity is necessary in bars a, a, and

c, particularly the latter, in order that a greater or less quantity of hair may be held and theparts reassume right lines after the deflection attending an'operation.

ings, and consists in, first, closing the blade on the end of a 1001; of hair, then winding the hair on the pini. 0., the bars a a and blade b-and then adjusting the clasp-bar, as shown, T

to preventunwinding. Detachment is effected by ;reversing the operation, and the blade is withdrawn from thesheath by means of thepro- Any number of the devices'may be used, as' desired, and their form and proportion may jection b.

bevaried to meet various requirements.
